WEBVTT - Kyle Shanahan Shares Game Plan for Playing Starters in Week 18 | Press Pass

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Alright. Injuries for today, Armstead won't practice, Christian McCaffrey won't practice.

0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Ross Dwell he won't practice.

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>John Feliciano won't with back, Ambrey with surgery, had Elijah

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell won't practice he's sick. Gibson has a quad he

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:18.239
<v Speaker 1>won't practice.

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Jay R. Brown knee won't practice.

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Juwan Jennings and jay Len Moore both limited with their

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>concussions from Costco and Aaron Banks and Danny or full

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, Kyle.

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Do you plan on playing brock Perdy against the Rams?

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Brox Ony guy for sure. No, I don't plan on playing.

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 5>What went him to that decision?

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 1>One? You only can you can rest seven guys if

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>nobody's hurt, if you get two practice squad guys up.

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 2>We have at least six guys.

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Injured right now, so there's only I know for sure

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>we can rest one and someone with their starting quarterback.

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 5>Any thought to play Brandon Allen as well as.

0:00:59.120 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Not right now?

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean he'll be ready, he'll get some work in

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 1>the week, But going like a sam right now?

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Chemistry wise, is this a tricky thing?

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 5>Because you've got a bunch of guys, you can't rest

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 5>everybody has just said.

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 3>And some guys have injuries, some guys don't.

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 5>Some guys are more important to your plan. How do

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 5>you negotiate that in people so you don't have bad feelings.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 2>In your room?

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>You explain everyone that it's not an option, and you

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>explain to them why, so they get that. And it's

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.199
<v Speaker 1>pretty easy to understand when you got to dress forty

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>eight people, so you only can pick five, and you

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>have more than five guys injured, So I already the

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>guys who are injured are already not planned. So how

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>many other guys you get a pick? I can pick

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>two up from practice squad.

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 2>But that's all.

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>So unless we start cutting a bunch of players, there's

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>no other option.

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>So guy's got to be in uniform. They've got to

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 2>be ready to go.

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>It's nice with Brock because he can still be in

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a uniform and not count because he can be the

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 1>third quarterback, which that happened. Will decide whether to put

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>them in unif we're not going and handed off if

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>that happened. But you just got explained it to the guys.

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>And also.

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>It's you know, you work hard to get an off.

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:12.079
<v Speaker 2>Week in this league.

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.799
<v Speaker 1>I think off week helps a lot of people, especially

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>if you handle it the right way and stuff, and

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 1>just this time of year and allows guys to get

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>a little fresher and stuff, which which you don't want

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>is two off weeks. No one gets two by weeks.

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>And we earned ours next week. We just didn't know

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>we were going to do it already, so we got

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>to make sure we get something out of this week.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>And we've been in this situation before.

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Where we earned it by week was in twenty nineteen,

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>but we didn't know we earned that until about eight

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>thirty at night on the last play of the game

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>vers Seattle. It was the first time it hit us

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>when to play. Before that, we might have been playing

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>that Saturday. So we were very thankful we earned it.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 1>That we need that rest and we got it that week. Yes,

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>we're in that situation, but we already know we're there,

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>and so that's why guys, mind's got to be right

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>this week. You know, two by weeks isn't good for anybody,

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's why this isn't one. And I know all

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>these questions, those are things you first think of. I

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>do because I didn't expect to know this Sunday night,

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>coming back on the plane. But once you do sit

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and the reality hits and you think about it. You

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>look at how a fifty three man roster works with

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.519
<v Speaker 1>forty eight guys and only allowed to practice squad flexes,

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>you realize, one, it's impossible, but two it's also not

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the best thing for the team.

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 6>You more willing to live with the chance that someone

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 6>could get hurt who's very important to you, or the

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 6>possibility that your team would be too rusty and not

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 6>ready for that first game.

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>It's not about the rusty, It's about one how you

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>pull off a game. You Rusty isn't always about the game.

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Rusty is how you treat the week, and the game

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>is how how you treat the week. It's games three

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>and a half hours of to me what unfolded throughout

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the week, and then you just get to cut it

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>loose so that you got to play accordingly. You got

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>to watch how.

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 2>The game's going and be as smart as you can.

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I also think people win in playoff games because you're

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>a team. Yes, good players put you over the hump

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and everything, but you want to rest a good player,

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>go watch what happens to all the other role players.

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>You lose your whole role players.

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Before you go to a playoff and you just depend

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>on your quote unquote good players, there'll be a lot

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 1>of trouble there too. So it's I mean, it is

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>what it is. I mean, our goal is to get

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>better this week. Are also goal is to not have

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>anyone injured, which we're gonna but it's both of those

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>are at risk. We're gonna work our hardest to do it.

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>But resting the obvious ones sometimes it can be the

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>reason you lose, because you lose all guys that you

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:35.919
<v Speaker 1>need to win that game. What allows big players to

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of do stuff that put teams over the hump

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>that fans can see is a lot of what happens

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 1>with all the other guys to do a lot of

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.559
<v Speaker 1>the dirty work and stuff that give you a chance.

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>So everyone's everyone's so important when you go through a playoff.

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Rount this week, Brock, I mean, we're treating this is

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 2>a normal week.

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 1>So this is a normal Wednesday at this time of year,

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>which means we go half speed on everything. We don't

0:04:58.240 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>do anything full speed this time of year. On a

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>windsay the Brock will get half of the reps with

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the one Sam will get the other. I want our

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>team to treat this week as Brock going down on

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>like the first play of the game. Now, that's why

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:13.719
<v Speaker 1>I want him both repping it. I want Brock to

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.839
<v Speaker 1>get some work this week, and that's something I'd like

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 1>us to be ready for. If that, unfortunately did happen Thursday,

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 1>when it's all full speed, probably give Sam majority of him.

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about that after the day and Friday we're

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>back to walk through.

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh I, I did truly comprehend everything you said.

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure.

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Might it be good for thirty five year old left

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>tackles too?

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Two bye weeks?

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Uh No, I don't think it's good for anybody to

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.839
<v Speaker 1>take two weeks off, So not at all. Let you

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>see how Trent was and it came back after a

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>month off or three weeks. It's it's not good. But

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>we'll see how the game goes and everything. But his

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>mindset this week's got to be that he's getting ready

0:05:58.800 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 1>to play.

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 5>It's obviously the amount of players that you have as

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 5>opposed to what you have in the preseason and the

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 5>way you're approaching this game. It's dramatically different. But in

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.720
<v Speaker 5>terms of the game plan part of it and what

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna put in and use without evolting anything. Is

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:13.840
<v Speaker 5>that preseason like.

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, it's there's a good chance for playing

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 1>this team in two weeks, So I think both sides

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>will be a pretty vanilla on that. I'd be surprised

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>that there's too much stuff. But we also know each

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.600
<v Speaker 1>other pretty well, both teams and the schemes, and when

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>we play each other, I don't think a lot goes

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>into that anyways. That's but every game affects the next game,

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna be smart how we do everything.

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.919
<v Speaker 5>You're not really preparing for the Rams, but how have

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 5>they improved as the season's gone.

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Or preparing for the RAMS big time? We could see

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>how good they could be in Week two. Anytime that

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>you have a quarterback like Matt Stafford, who is as

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>good as anyone that I've ever studied, And anytime you

0:06:58.120 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>have that, you always have a chance. I mean, he's

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.599
<v Speaker 1>always guy. But where they've improved the most is how

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>much their run game's going. It's as good as any

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 1>run game in this league. You put those together with

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>that type of quarterback. Their defense start out with a

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of young guys, but they've played all year that's

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>what we had to do in seventeen and eighteen.

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>And when you have a.

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Generational playoffs there with Aaron Donald with what they're doing

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>on the other side, that gives them a chance to

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>be just as dangerous as anyone in this league.

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, you're happy to have the one seed, but this

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 3>balancing rest who plays how much one of the harder

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 3>things you do with this couch.

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it's just different.

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, harder is when everybody's hurt and you don't

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's gonna be really hard when you watch

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>that tape.

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 2>To figure out how to win. So I'd say those

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>are the worst.

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 1>This is just different stuff that you think it's gonna

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>be one way because you haven't totally thought through all

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 1>of that, and then once you really sit down and

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>think about it, you realize that's not really at all

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>what people think it can be. I mean, I want

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.239
<v Speaker 1>to try to do everything as much as anybody thinks

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 1>we should, but then when you really think about all

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the things that connect, it's it's not that simple. And

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 1>this is what I got to make sure is this

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>week doesn't hurt our team. And that's what we're going

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 1>to make sure of.

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 5>How much the forty eight guys you shoot up?

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>How many can you get by with playing in a game?

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 6>Is it forty thirty eight?

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 5>Have you thought about that?

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? And which one of those guys got hurt?

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>That's why there's no absolute and you can get by

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>with twenty two if I'd say one out of one

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred times a thousand times. But I mean, like it

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>just all depends how something plays out. I mean, it

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>was until a couple of years ago they allowed an

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>EIGHTHO alignment to get up, and if they wouldn't have

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>had that new rule, we would have done our last

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 1>three series of Baltimore with Charlie Warner playing tackle.

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 2>So I mean that stuff happens.

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.439
<v Speaker 1>We went went twenty years without having to play a

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>third quarterback, and then all of a.

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Sudden it happened an NFC championship game.

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>So you know, when we were in Atlanta, we went

0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>all year only dressing two running backs and and then

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>hurt till the Super Bowl when we lost seven for

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the whole game and DeVante was hurt. So like, it's

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 1>it's all risk, and that's stuff you got to balance out,

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and that stuff you got to be ready to see

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 1>how it goes.

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 2>But it's man.

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>You you got five receivers up, you want to sit

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>a couple, Well, how do you get practice squad guys up?

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 2>You can get two?

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 1>We also have a corner down at the Ambry had surgery.

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>We had Gip who probably won't be able to go with.

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 2>This guy Eric Harris is out of practice squad, so

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.440
<v Speaker 2>get another. Were already down a logan Ryan sod You

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:33.719
<v Speaker 2>go with.

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Three safeties or do you cut people to get up

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>an extra practice squad guy receiver Christian probably not gonna

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>be able to go, isn't So you would go with

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>two backs in that situation and just ride one? Or

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.480
<v Speaker 1>do we flex one of those practice squads and go

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 1>with one less safety and one less corner and only

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 1>have three or four there, which maybe could work unless

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 1>someone gets a cramp.

0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's it's everything.

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 1>So it's I want to waste your guys time learning it,

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>just like I don't. I don't waste my time learning

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>all the injury names for Eric. But it's it's not easy.

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 4>There's a motion you do mostly with Christians, sometimes with

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 4>other guys. It's kind of like a shuffle to the

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 4>side that looks. I don't think a lot of other

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 4>teams in the league do it. What are sort of

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 4>the benefits of that motion where he sort of might

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.720
<v Speaker 4>end up in a weird position behind the line, and

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 4>what are the drawbacks?

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Just watching how it moves the defense, getting people out

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of positions, watching people's adjustments, how they're going to treat it.

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when people haven't seen it before, then it's cool,

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 1>but then they see you do it, so they they

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 1>adjust to it, and you see what that does to

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>people and does it help something and open up another

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.319
<v Speaker 1>But it's just about getting people to.

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Move played this week is already concerned with him or

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 3>felician additions.

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Here, No, I mean get ended up.

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.679
<v Speaker 1>I think we got yesterday he had a quad strain,

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 1>so I mean that could be anywhere seven to ten days.

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>So odds aren't I mean that can heal faster too,

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 1>But just with our situation, the odds aren't there. And

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Feliciano new thing came up. But we feel pretty good

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.680
<v Speaker 1>about it. So we'll just see how the week goes out.

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 5>People have six returned to ir as nations left? Is

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 5>that on purpose? I mean, did you guys resist putting

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.320
<v Speaker 5>some players on ir just so that you have a

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 5>lot heading into.

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 6>The playoffs to use well.

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Also, I mean last year we ran out of them,

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, you didn't. We didn't think we'd have them all,

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>and then towards the end of the year we had

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>to I think decide between Ridgeway and Jimmy, and we

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>ended up losing Ridgeway because of that. So we wanted

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to make sure, I mean, we didn't want to do

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>any just to do it. Sometimes you got to do

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 1>it because it's close to that time and you got

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to help get other guys on your roster. But we

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't have as many of those situations this year, so

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.199
<v Speaker 1>we got extra left. But that does help you when

0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 1>guys do get hurt, it just allows you not to

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>lose them so you can get someone else on your roster.

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 4>In a way.

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 6>Is this more stressful for you to coach a week

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 6>like this than if you needed to in this game

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:00.959
<v Speaker 6>to clinch?

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:03.400
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, this is just stuff that's a little annoying

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>to think about. But once you kind of do which

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, we had time to do that the last

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 1>couple of days, and I just had to talk to

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>some players so they understand it.

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Then it's we're good, good, joyous.

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Wait with Pro Bowl stuff coming out officially later today,

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 3>can you kind of just put up perspect I mean,

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 3>you're supposed to get a slew of guys probably today.

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.679
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you came into this this franchise and there

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.440
<v Speaker 3>were nine in twenty sixteen. Just how you and John

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 3>have built this roster to this level.

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm interesting.

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 1>It's been real cool that most of our Pro bowlers,

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, have come from here. You know, I know,

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.680
<v Speaker 1>you know we brought on Christian, you know, we brought

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.439
<v Speaker 1>in Trent. But it was just cool watching some of

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 1>these guys who we'd go back and watch playoff games

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 1>from twenty nineteen and stuff, and you just see rookies

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>out there, second rookies with green Law and and and Debo,

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and second year player like with Fred, first year player

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 1>with Bosa. You just think of some of those guys

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 1>who came here and now they're kind of household names

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:02.959
<v Speaker 1>and they do a year in a year out, and

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>it's cool. I mean, it's awesome when you bring in

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 1>someone like Christians, someone like Trent, just different type of

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 1>players that we got a chance to add to this group.

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.680
<v Speaker 1>But think of some of the stuff we had to go

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.079
<v Speaker 1>through to build this up, and it's just really cool

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 1>we hit on some guys that weren't only just talented guys,

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 1>but really made of the right stuff, which has allowed

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.920
<v Speaker 1>them to turn themselves into that and continue to get

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:24.960
<v Speaker 1>better each year after.

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 5>And in a year voting.

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.320
<v Speaker 3>What makes Eric just so deserving for leadership on the

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 3>field after.

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Nominations just out he does it day in and day out,

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>year around, Like I didn't even know about all this

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>stuff till you know, I've been here long enough to

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 1>where I gradually hear about it. And you know, he

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 1>doesn't do it just for everyone to know about it.

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:47.719
<v Speaker 1>He does it because he has a.

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Passion for it.

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.199
<v Speaker 1>I know how you know, with where he's from being

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 1>close to hear and how much he's held for that area.

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I know Eric truly loves it, is truly a great

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>person in that way, and I know how much all

0:13:58.280 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 1>of our team looks up to him in that way

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.960
<v Speaker 1>on kind of handle all social issues and just really

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 1>how to be the best person you can.

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 2>All Right, Thanks guys,
